EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

IT is generally understood that there
was no veto upon the garden seeds sent
by members Of congress to the needy,
seedless sufferers of the Texas drouth re-
glons. Thanks for SO much.
JOHN S. WISE. Of Virginia, predicts
that Virginia, the old democratic stand
by, the mother ofpresidents will go re-
publican at least 10000 in 1888. We do
not credit the prediction, but when q
Virginia Wise makes such statement,
there must be something with the true
blue southern or Of the +. +. V. tribe.
The journals that are agitating their
brains over the conundrum, "Why is q
boat called she?' have forgotten the
end mans answer. Because the rigging
costs more than the hull; because she is
often in stays and Is frequently cramped
about the waist; because she pays a
great deal ofattention to her figure head,
etc, etc.
The proposed road law, giving coun-
ties the privilege OF working their short
term convicts on the public highways,
Is very much needed, and very uncer-
tain of passing. Those who are benefit
ted by convict contracts have made q
dead set against the measure, and where
1t is personal interest against public
good the result is not by any means
sure to public good.

A PECULIAR ACTRESS.
Who Goes From Grave to Gay at the Will
of the SPIRITS, or the Forebod-
ings of Superstition

Miss Kate Davis, the charming fairy queen
Fantasma, Is queer combination of SUI
perstition, spirituallsm and faith. When of
the stage she has light heart and gay man.
ner She is young woman, of the Stage as
well as on, refined and Intellectual. At the
death of her mother when she was young
girl, wealthy family of Boston, her native
place, interested themselves in her. and she
was SEM to boarding school at Ipswich,
where she spent four years. They
were ruined by the great Boston
fire and she was then compelled by
public readings to support and educate
herself for a year. Then she took a three
years course In the school of oratory and
graduated. She became connected then with
Miss Obers Boston bureau and gave readings
all over New England. With Fannie Rice, the
charming Nanon of the Carleton Opera com.
pany, who was also member of THIS bureau,
she gave 1t up and then sang for one season
with the Boston Ideals. Afterwards she went
regularly on the stage as leading lady in one
or two companies, and while with
"Genevieve." She always was an ac-
comp'ished mimic from childhood. She is free
in her beliefs, she says, aud under all there
lies strong religious feeling, which she says
was born in her. She believes implicitly in
dreams, omeus and fortune tellers, and the
future has no secrets from her. Astrology Is
a favorite science with her, and also is spirit
ualism a subject OF much study aOd mesmer-
ism mas been conned In all its interesting
branches. When Friday comes sne is gloomy
and depressed, and says IL is her most unlucky
day, while her brother, who travels with
her, is luckiest on that day.

The Matinee,

The crowd OF ladies' and children began to
congrcHate in front OF the Grand opera
house today at I2:3O for the 2:3O O'Clock
matin @ of Fantasma, and when the front
office was made. A long and tedious wait here
ensued, until Manager Rsche threw up the
ticket window at 2 o'clock By this time the
foyer and arcades were packed with ladies and
children and great many gentlemen and they
kept pouring in.
The space In front of the box window and
between the railing became so packed that
several little children were badly crushed and
the finely pulled panniers snd bustles OF the
fashionable ladies were mashed as fiat as a hay
press would do IL. Il is estimated that the full
capacity of the house will be tested.
Supt Smith, of the public schools, did not
grant half-hOliday, but there are very few
school children at school today and more are
at the matinee.

Ranging for Thieves

Constable HeintZ, Of precinct No. 3,
came into the city last night at 10
o'clock, accompanied by posse Of citi-
zens armed with repeating rifles. They
were after Deputy Sheriff Bob Alexan-
der, not to arrest him, however, but to
get him to accompany them to place
north Of the head of the river. where
they had reason to believe a gang Of
horse thieves they were after and who
had been depredatlng in their precinct,
were located and were being shelter d
by strong party of friends. Deputy
Alexander went with them, OF course, as
he knows every foot OF Bexar county,
and can guide them In straight line
wherever they want to go.
Constable Heintz, is Of the opinion
that he has to deal with a tough gang
OF thieves, and their depreciation are all
the more aggravated because one Of the
stolen animals was fine and valuable
stallion stolen near New Braunfels, and
a fine mare, stolen from the Salsdo
country. Shey returned empty-handcd
this morning.

Jack Harris Ghost.

A small sensation was created about IL
o'clock last night by some man who passed
the Devine drug store, corner Soledad street
and Main plaza. The store was closed, and a
dim light was burning In the back of the store,
but this gentleman declared he saw a light
dancing around in ghostly ignus fatus style
between the mortar and pestle sign above the
door and the little balcony Just above IL. Quite
a crowd collected, and saw the same sight and
then they declared 1t could be none other than
the ghost of poor Jack Harris, who 1t will be
remembered used to keep the Vaudeville
theatre at this corner, and who was killed
there by Ben Thompson. Officer John Fitz-
henry, however, laid the ghost, after a good
light. The transom above the door had be-
come loose and in swinging slightly reflected
the glare of a distant lamp.
